This simulation/tutorial is completed in three stages. In the first stage, students work with a mentor to create a genetically modified crop plant. Students will: 1) explain the relationship between phenotype and genotype in the context of a biochemical pathway; and 2) analyze the effect of a rate-determining step on the overall productivity of a pathway. In stage 2, students find and analyze the sequence of the G-TMT (ƒ×-tocopherol methyltransferase) gene in a simulated version of a genomic database. They amplify the sequence using PCR. In this stage, students will: 1) identify sequence landmarks, including translation start and stop, polyadenylation, etc; 2) map functional regions of a gene sequence, including coding sequence, 3’ UTR, etc; and 3) select appropriate primers for amplifying a sequence using PCR. In stage 3, Students transform canola plants with the G-TMT gene using Agrobacterium and determine if over-expression results in altered phenotype. In this final stage, students will: 1) learn principles and procedures for transformation using Agrobacterium; 2) select the appropriate genetic components and orientation of components in an expression construct for the G-TMT gene; 3) reconstruct the sequence of events and explain the efficiencies of the transformation/selection process; and 4) evaluate data from 2 genetically engineered plants and explain variability in the results.

This is a module from the Supersite, "DNA From the Beginning." This learning object explains the meaning and signficance of genetic mutations that alter DNA sequences. The Supersite contains many other animated tutorials on DNA, genes and heredity. The science behind each concept is explained using animations, an image gallery, video interviews, problems, biographies, and links. There are three sections for the Supersite including Classical Genetics, Molecules of Genetics, and Organization of Genetic Material. Key features are the clear explanations of classical experiments and excellent photographs of researchers and their labs.
